—10— i ( A HEALTHY YEAR OF ACCOM- q PLISHMENT. ‘ | ————s } ( The year 1912-1913 saw the Young Men’s Christian Association at Wiscon- sin broaden out into a larger and deep- 4 er life than it ever assumed before. It was a year of expansion in which the Association carried its work and influ- y0 , ence, far into the life of the whole stu- S dent body. Three-fourths of the fresh- man class attended our Annual Stag ¢ Mixer; more than twelve hundred stu- e | dents attended the All-University, the r 2 biggest social gathering of Wisconsin \ men and women held during the college | year. Our Employment Bureau served | three hundred men with permanent posi- é } tions by which they could “work their i way” through school and _ supplied a) scores of others with casual employ- ¥ } ment, if} | Our Sunday afternoon meetings drew } { fully as large crowds as we have ever I had and the Raymond Robbins meetings hI | held last December during the cam- | 4 ‘ paign for Christian Life and Social ue. Service, drew thousands of Wisconsin men to Music Hall and to the gym, { where that great leader gave his stir- ring messages Never before did the men of our University give of their wa } money so liberally as they did to the o Association in March, when it called ! for aid in raising the debt on Asso- ciation Hall. Seven thousand dollars \ was the answer from the men of the j —1— student body and almost a like sum } was given by the faculty. The year was a good one in a great ¢ many ways but in no respect did it show more gratifying results than in the election of the new officers and the { selection of the committeemen for the E coming year. The Wisconsin Associa- tion has risen to a high place in the { estimation of leaders throughout the country; it is doing a real work and ren- dering a genuine service in the up- { building of a stronger and more virile manhood among the men in the Univer- sity of Wisconsin. t RAY SWEETMAN, ’13, } Fresident of Y.

do 1 pia | ; ——| THE Y. M. C. A. The Young Men’s Christian Association | is the largest and most ‘ comprehensive < student organization in the world. Besides this, it is the only institution in the uni versity that holds as its one aim the pro- { motion of clean, manly Christian living. Its purpose is to keep men true to the Christian ideal and to develop in them the high motive of service to men. ‘The Asso j ciation is inter-denominational—any self respecting man being eligible to member. ship. Through its work, men representing 4 every phase of college life mect on a com mon ground. Identification with the Asso: ciation signifies an interest in all that is t best in college life.
ASSOCIATION HALL } The headquarters of the Young Men’s Christian Association is Association Hall. ' This building is admirably equipped to tak a large place in the life of the university. The ground floor consists of a large loun ing room, a reading room, game room with pool and billiard tables, and a social room | where various gatherings are held. ‘This floor also holds the athletic trophy room and the offices of the General Sécretary t and his assistant. On the second floor is i the large auditorium and three smaller q rooms used constantly for meetings of th« 1 Association tions. The five and University numerous pastors other also organiza have . offices on this floor and may be found here at certain hours each day. “The Auditorium uses part of the third floor also, and the ‘ remaining portion, with all of the fourth ‘A and large fifth dining floors is hall given is located over to in dormitories. the base. | ment. The building is valued at approx } imately $100,000, and is a monument to the interest of men throughout the state in the | Christian life of the university THE GENERAL SECRETARY i It is now some two years ago since ? the Y. M. C. A, directors called Frank H. West from the position of secretary of the Grand Rapids City Y. M. C. A { to the General Secretaryship of the uni versity Y, M. C, A. at Madison. Many times since then has the wisdom of this move been demonstrated. i Last year he directed the executive work in the two campaigns which men in touch with the Y. M. C. A. situ- 0 4 ations in every college in the country NS term the two greatest single campaigns ever attempted and successfully carried out by any coliege Y in the country— 4 i namely, the Raymond Robins campaign ee for the moral uplift of the university - students, and the campaign for $35,000 3 é | to raise the debt on Association Hall. ; ) Mr. West, being himself a former varsity man on the Northwestern uni- | versity football and baseball teams, 1s 6 well versed in_all phases of under- I graduate life. He is easy to get ac- a4 quainted with, and a man to whom you B: can always confide your troubles. He i | is anxious to meet you. " 4
t THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY. SI bi ; land W. C. as Miller, assistant who secretary, succeeds C, is R. an Cleve- old { as football man from Nebraska. For the past two years he has been pursuing graduate work at the University of Chi- i cago, and incidentally directing some social service work at South Deering which has been widely quoted among (i | social workers. While in college he was \ interested in all college activities: lit- | erary, social and religious. The Board j of Directors feel they have secured a man in Mr, Miller who will add great strength to this year’s work. =6— DEPARTMENTS OF THE ASSOCIA- ;

‘ _The activity of the Association is di- vided into several departments, each headed by a chairman who has complete } charge of his department. Work for New Students j
At the opening of the first semester, the Association aims to serve new stu- } dents in every way possible. They are met at trains, given directions in the } finding of rooms and their baggage cared } for during the search, an information bureau is established, an employment i bureau conducted, and everything done { to make the first few days as agreeable as possible, Every new student is urged to make Association Hall his headquar- ters, immediately on arrival in Madison 4 During the first week informal “Mixers” | will be held each evening. t Sunday and Mid-week Meetings | } i } During the past four years the Y. M. Cc, A. has brought to Madison some of the strongest, most virile, speakers along religious lines, that can be found { in the country. Some of the same men will be returned this year and other new speakers will be secured. These meet- ings are at 4:00 o'clock Sunday after- { noons, and are open to all men stu- dents. The mid-week meetings are of a more personal nature, so conducted as to give { —16— J Sy | a chance for questions and answers, and the more or less free discussion of the ] problems of student life. These meet- ) ings are held at 6:30 o'clock Thursdays. | Committeemen and all other members | are expected to attend, and all new stu- t dents are welcome. These meetings are frequently followed by members’ busi- ness meetings.
4 Bible Study Groups BS This section is of paramount import- 2 j ance. The emphasis that has been put S upon this department has resulted in a well worked out course of study, giving a fairly complete and practical working is { knowledge of the great truths of the fe Bible. Under the auspices of the uni- F versity Y. M. C. A. all over the country = ¢ 1 more than 60,000 men are annually q } studying this Book of Books. } Social 6
Besides the stag mixers the first week I and the All-University reception, there q are the Opening Stag, the Thanksgiving A i and Christmas parties and the Post- | Exam Jubilee. The arranging for small | ] parties in the homes of the members of 4 t the Faculty has been most successful : Hundreds of students have thus met by j and visited members of the faculty. { This phase of the work will be further et. i developed this year. Industrial Service i In this department, college men are enlisted in serving the foreigner and the ue laboring classes. The teaching of Eng- “el ! lish, free, and of anything else these it F men may want. First aid to the injured lectures and practical character build- ing talks to men in factories are also given under the direction of the com- i | mittee. ; : is dO } a7 LSI Mission Study With the exception of Bible study j no other department of the Asosciation ) should appeal so strongly to students in general, as should the study of Missions, with its broad outlook and influence of ( the Association into the industrial, and political conditions of two-thirds of the world’s population. This department of- fers courses in the various mission fields t and a comparative study of the prin- cipal religions of the world. Two years ago the student body gave nearly $1000 toward work among students in Tokio, 4 Japan Employment The Y. M. C. A. maintains an em- 4 ployment bureau which is constantly at the service of young men who need help | defraying their expenses through the { university. No clarges are made. Hun- } department dreds of men each are year. assisted It through is regularly this | in charge of one of the secretaries. Deputations | Five-men teams of earnest Christian young men are sent out by this Commit- tee to hold meetings in small towns un- der Union Church auspices, particularly for high school boys, during week ends and holiday vacations. This work is of | tremendous value, both to the young j men who go out and to the towns vis- ited, Boys A committee of students who are in- | terested in boys co-operate with the nishing churches leaders and other and organizations in organizing in boys’ fur- | clubs. Committea Service | Between 200 and 300 different men served on these various committees last ——je— year. More can serve to good advant- age this year. If you are willing to J assist, make it known to Secretary West ) or President Haake. It will be greatly appreciated by them.
‘ THE GENEVA CONFERENCE | a i At the close of each college year there is held at Lake Geneva, Wiscon- sin, on the Y. M C, A. camping grounds, 2 { a Conference of college Association of- S ficers and committeemen, representing all of the colleges and universities of the Middie West. The Conference is a { held during the ten days immediately i following the final examinations in June. 4 | The mornings of each day are devoted m ‘< } to a regular program of study of college i ) men’s problems and methods of Asso- ciation work, and the afternoons are | spent in competitive athletics, swim- ‘s ming, socker, baseball, tennis, track, i ete. 2 | The camp life and recreation are the E best a man could find anywhere but the 1 greatest offering of the Lake Geneva i Conference is the opportunity to hear \\ and to meet in a personal way, many ‘4 of the greatest religious and moral lead- ~ ers of the country. Such men as John 4 R. Mott, Bishop Wm, F. McDowell, Sher- | wood Eddy and Fletcher Brockman, are a 1 : to be found there every year in addition = - to many of the choicest leaders from our various State Universities. No Wisconsin men are elected as { delegates to Lake Geneva; often times | some men are aided financially by the ve \ Association, but the opportunity to at- ca tend is open to all members. Those who expect to attend should file their names with the Secretary as early as possible in the year and should then plan to reserve the first ten days of: the summer vacation for Geneva.

THE ASSOCIATION’S PURPOSE |
The Young Women’s Christian Asso- | ciation seeks to unite the women of the University in a loyalty to Jesus Christ; j to fill the spiritual needs of the stu- dents; and to promote the consciousness of social responsibility. Any girl may identify herself with the Association | ideal by active or associate membership i in the organization. } The Association stands for the best ; and highest ideals in student life. Mem- bership in it is emphatically worth while. The Geneva Conference i During the last part of August and the first of September, the annual con- | ference of College Associations of the i Middle West is held at Lake Geneva. Over five hundred delegates represent- ing the finest type of college girls attend the conference. \ d —20— J The forenoons are spent in classes, Bible and Mission study, committee con- 1 ferences and platform addresses. The ) afternoons are given over to walking, swimming, boat riding and other forms of recreation. To those who attend the Conference, it is a source of inspiration and help which is always remembered. It affords an opportunity to meet women+who have 5 been active for years in Association work and whose experience and advice is invaluable to student workers. % } Bible and Mission Study ¥ | Realizing the importance of Bible and J { Mission study, the Association plans rae capable strong courses teachers. in these It is branches essential under that mc ‘ } every well informed woman should know : i of the Christian movements in China. a j India, Japan, Africa, South America and in her own country. & | A complete schedule of courses, to- | gether with subjects and teachers may q| Y.

FIVE IDEALS FOR i917. ~) 4 —— Se F. W. Roe, Assistant Dean of the Col- lege of Letters and Science. | { I, Work. Begin your work prompt- eC ly. More than half the freshmen who | fail, fail because they waste the first Y 2 : six weeks. : II. Ideals of Work. Aim to excel in | at least one study, and to do well in all. & A lower ideal than this is unworthy of a college man. 2 t III. Help and Advice. Get into touch i) \ with your adviser, your instructor, or a some other responsible official to whom you may turn when in need of advice . { about your college work. Do not run iS the risk of failure through ignorance Js of the rules. | i IV. Friends. Make friends by being ‘Ss one yourself. It is a tragedy to live an isolated life. There are important sides of your nature that cannot be developed except by_ healthy contact with your \ fellow-students, L V. Character. Do not sacrifice or cei compromise the essentials of character, whatever your changes of belief or opin- ion. Remember that you are here to make “character more efficient through knowledge.” fo 23 i NEW STUDENTS |

There is no hazing at Wisconsin. It is traditional for freshmen to wear ‘ the green headgear with the cardinal button from the opening of the fall term until the first of November, and from 4 Easter until the last day of the second semester in June. Three years ago, the : class of 1914 started a custom, long es- — tablished in eastern colleges, of burning Ne} 4 their hats on the lower campus on the S evening of the last class day of the sec- ond semester, The classes of 1915 and a 1916 repeated the custom, and it has f ; proved to be a successful undertaking. € No underclassman has the privilege to ie) j sit on the fence in front of the gym- Y nasium, and no freshman can sit or loit- er on the library steps. No freshman can smoke on the cam- 6s { pus until after the first of May, except in the Wisconsin Union, : y The campus includes the university i | grounds, and especially the upper and } lower campus and Camp Randall. a \ No underclassman has the privilege to Ny e wear corduroy trousers. hy No freshman shall carry a cane or I walking stick at any time of the year { 4 } unless incapacitated by injuries. ‘= No freshman can wear a stiff hat or a derby in Madison, except on “prom” night. It has been a custom, heretofore, for freshmen to give a class dance. This is the big social event of the year for the ido first year men because it gives them an “ati { opportunity to become acquainted with = more of their classmates. Class mixers are held each semester during the col- lege course and they serve to get the students acquainted with their fellow classmates. 340 | =299— S é FRESHMEN! }
